Please suggest me a Car stereo for my swift. I just need the stereo. Budget is upto 10k. But can be extended upto 15k depending on the features and SQ.

What speakers are you currently using? What kind of music do you listen to? Is there a particular sound signature you like? Any systems/brands you listened to that you liked?

For an SQ setup, you're better off splitting your budget and getting a head unit + amp. The amplifier stage in HUs is not that good, mainly due to the limited space inside a HU.

Kenwood HUs tend to have a neutral sound. This looks decent and has 2 pre-outs : http://www.snapdeal.com/product/kenwood-kdc-u356-cd-and/649877
The rest can be spent on a decent amp. You can look at a Kenwood again (M846 : costs ~6k), or a JBL GTO (504 : costs ~8k).

You also need to budget for wiring + install. Not sure how much wiring costs, probably another 2~3k.
Do you have a good installer in your area?

a decent or an expensive head unit wont be the only contributing factor to better SQ.
you will need better component speakers, maybe ovals at the rear, subwoofers for bass and an amplifier to power all those.

what is your current setup?
